We discuss here a long Suzaku observation of IRAS 19254-7245 (also known as the Superantennae), one of the brightest and well studied Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies in the local Universe. This long observation provided the first detection of IRAS 19254-7245 above 10 keV, and measured a 15-30 keV flux of ~5x10^(-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1. The detection above 10 keV has allowed us to unveil, for the first time, the intrinsic luminosity of the AGN hosted in IRAS 19254-7245, which is strongly absorbed (Nh ~ 3x10^(24) cm^-2) and has an intrinsic luminosity in the QSO regime (L(2-10 keV) ~ 3 x 10^(44) erg s^-1). The 2-10 keV spectrum of IRAS 19254-7245 is remarkably hard (Gamma~1.2), and presents a strong iron line (EW ~0.7 keV), clearly suggesting that below 10 keV we are seeing only reprocessed radiation. Since the energy of the Fe K emission is found to be at ~6.7 keV, consistent with He-like Fe, and its EW is too high to be explained in a starburst dominated scenario, we suggest that the 2--10 keV emission of IRAS 19254-7245 is dominated by reflection/scattering from highly ionized matter. Indeed, within this latter scenario we found that the photon index of the illuminating source is Gamma=1.87 (+0.11,-0.28), in excellent agreement with the mean value found for radio quiet unobscured AGN.
We present the XMM-Newton observation of the merging system IRAS 19254-7245, also known as The Superantennae, whose southern nucleus is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy. The XMM-Newton data have allowed us to perform a detailed X-ray imaging and spec
We present ROSAT HRI and ASCA observations of the well known ULIRG IRAS19254-7245 (the Superantennae). The object is not detected by ROSAT yielding a 3sigma upper limit of L_x ~8x10^{41} erg/s in the 0.1-2 keV band. However, we obtain a clear detecti
We report the discovery of a mid-infrared variable AGN which is hosted by an ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) candidate in the Sloan Stripe 82 field. textit{WISE} textit{J030654.88+010833.6} is a red, extended galaxy, which we estimate to be at
We report results from a 2007 Suzaku observation of the Seyfert 1 AGN NGC 4593. The narrow Fe K alpha emission line has a FWHM width ~4000 km/s, indicating emission from >~ 5000 Rg. There is no evidence for a relativistically broadened Fe K line, con
mm-wave emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) may hold the key to understanding the physical origin of their radio cores. The correlation between radio/mm and X-ray luminosity may suggest a similar physical origin of the two sources. Since synch
